Area county clerks blast Cuomo’s license plate replacement plan

‘Nightmare’ backup at DMV offices predicted By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
CLIFTON PARK | The looming mandate for vehicle owners to obtain new license plates — whether they need them or not — was denounced last week as an extraneous tax on motorists and a burden on DMV staff by area county clerks who teamed up with state Sen. Jim Tedisco (R-Glenville) at a recent press conference. Among those joining Tedisco in criticizing Cuomo’s plan were Warren County Clerk Pam Vogel, Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha and Hamilton County Clerk Jane Zarecki and their counterparts from five other counties in the region. Tedisco has called for the state legislature to hold hearings this fall on the plate-replacement measure that the Cuomo administration set in motion without approval by state lawmakers. Joining the chorus of discontent with the plan have been local officials — both Democrats and Republicans.

Two local women make history as they are elected to lead Chestertown Rotary TOWN OF CHESTER | The Chestertown Rotary Cub just entered a new era this summer, as the community-service organization elected Nan Williams as president and Debra Eves as vice president. In the club’s 70-year history, neither office has ever been held by a female — until now. Both began their tenure as of July.

WARRENSBURG | Steve Farina looked out over dozens of prize-winning vehicles parked on the front lawn of Fort William Henry on Sept. 8, the final day of the 2019 Adirondack Nationals Car Show at which 1,600 vehicles were on display from Sept. 6 through Sept. 8. Known as the Favorite Fifty, these vehicles — chosen by members of Albany Rods & Kustoms club members — ranged from meticulously restored antique
sedans to 1960s muscle cars — joined by a few vehicles pieced together from salvaged junkyard parts. “At the Adirondack Nationals show, we have an unsurpassed collection of rolling sculpture,” said Farina, a longtime member and former official of the car club. “It’s nothing less than automotive art.” Taste in art encompasses a wide range, and two vehicles in this group of Favorite 50 epitomized the extremes in automotive aesthetics.
